Fresh from a historic appearance at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday night, Liam and Noel Gallagher jetted back to London just in time for Monday’s U.K. premiere of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the music duo turned up fashionably late to the Cineworld theater in Leicester Square. Liam pumped his fist in the air with an arm wrapped around Noel, who could only smile at the fervent reaction around them.
By the time the rock legends arrived, the black carpet was empty, aside from the herd of photographers and screaming fans.
Written by Peaky Blinders mastermind Steven Knight, the two-hour movie on their globe-spanning reunion tour last year combines concert film, backstage documentary and an unusually intimate portrait of the Gallagher brothers’ famously volatile relationship.
Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace followed the duo across 12 concerts on three continents during the Live ’25 tour, capturing previously unseen rehearsals, backstage and onstage footage.
Knight, Southern, Lovelace and the producers joined the Gallaghers for a short introduction before the screening. Though they didn’t speak — bar Liam’s “story of my fucking life” over a faulty microphone — the siblings had made quite the entrance.
“I hope that people watch this and maybe think about someone they haven’t spoken to for a while,” said Knight, referring to the brothers’ notorious feud that kept them out of contact for 15 years. “It’s about the story of these two, the story of the band, but it’s much more than that. And people who watch it… You can hear people getting emotional about it. […] It’s an emotional film. It’s meant to be emotional,” he added. “Be prepared, it’s really good.”
The event was teeming with an eclectic group of stars, from Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten and soccer player Jack Grealish, to TV presenter Vernon Kay and prolific film producer Andrew Macdonald. Also in attendance were Liam and Noel’s children, including Lennon, Anais, Donovan, Sonny, Molly, and Gene, rooting for their rockstar fathers.
Disney will give Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger a limited theatrical run, with the film opening in select Imax and U.S. cinemas on Sept. 11. It will then stream later this year on Hulu in the U.S. and exclusively on Disney+ internationally.
